Broody Quail Hen?

[teradragon]

So, I have this hen sitting on eggs... I have read that quails won't see a hatch through. Should I just take the eggs away now, or see how she goes? I'm assuming if she sits for 48hrs ish the eggs won't be any good for eating?

Any help welcome! Thanks!

They are Texas A&M. My concern is that I don't want to collect the eggs when she gives up, then crack one to find veins! Ew.

Went to check on them this morning and the eggs were cold. So I will eat them instead!

Basically they tend to sit for 24hrs, get bored or just forget what they are doing and continue with their day! Funny birds.
